Overhead Table Saw Dust Collection Blade Guard

I made this duct collection blade guard for my table saw. It works but I think it needs some improvements.Currently, those hose is the Rigid Pro Vac hose and seems little small. I think it is 1 7/8. I am going to replace it with 2 1/2” and compare how it does. If I can I’ll figure out how to run it with 4”.I like it, I can remove it if I have to, dose not take up any floor space, easy to adjust or swing out of the way, works with my splitter and does not interfere with viewing the blade or make me feel impeded.Another improvement that I could make is the guard itself. It is a little wide and light duty. For now it’ll do.

Solid design, I’m jealous of your ability to use skechup to properly plan your projects. I’ve dabbled in computer design for my projects in the past but fumble horribly and end up just busting out the pad and paper. I used an 80/20 extrusion for my saw fence so I think I’ll attach it to that, but otherwise I’m going to incorporate most of your design. May try to incorporate a sprung parallelogram into it, but not a priority since your design looks to make it easy enough to adjust for thickness without giving up any safety.
